In the southwestern part of the island one of the most beautiful and famous beaches in Greece is to be found. Elafonissi is a small island so close to the beach that one can actually walk there from the beach... The crystal clear turquoise shallow waters in combination with the thin white and coral-red sand create a landscape of unparalleled beauty!

Tucked into Crete's southwestern corner, Elafonisi is a small island famed for its beautiful pinkish white sands, turquoise water, and gentle dunes. 

Elafonisi is a protected area including into Natura 2000 environmental site . The small island is home to 110 plant species and is a dream for anyone interested in botany. Most notable are Sea daffodils, endemic Juniper trees and plenty of others.

 

The route to Elafonissi won't leave you disappointed. We pick you up with our bus and our escort from your hotel or a location in its vicinity. Driving through small traditional villages and crossing the Topolian gorge longwise we reach our first stop... the cave of Agia Sofia, a cave with stalactites, stalagmites and a small chapel at its entrance.

 

After reaching Elafonissi you are free to relax on the beach and enjoy the lovely scenery surrounding you. We stay on the beach for three hours. On our way back we make a stop at the village Elos, where you get the chance to dine at a traditional tavern and try Cretan dishes (optional). Some time later we head back to your base. Our trip has come to its end... we hope that you have enjoyed it.
